We can whitelist users, but their position remains same.

Are there any other effects of being whitelisted , other than a reduced posting cooldown ?

A moderator bestowed custom privileges could be useful.
EG :- An established member wishes to make a new official account for their site , they could have the same posting cooldown as their main account would have and also be able to put a link to their site in the signature immediately.

I would like to see a feature when a user could pay a small amount to the forum in order to have the posting (but not PM) limits lifted. This would still limit the number of scams by preventing people from scamming via PM, and making it expensive to even to try to scam in public, and generate some level of additional revenue (that the forum may or may not need) in the process.

The problem is newbies do not have much BTC. If newbies want to post urgently, they can't reduce the time limit. Whereas, if a spammer want to spam up the forum, they can create new accounts and spam up the forum. This isn't very expensive.

I don't really know. I rarely use that feature.

It's possible to have it reduced significantly by being whitelisted, though personally I rarely do that on request, better to have someone vouch for you.

What would the requirements be to get whitelisted, and what would happen when someone vouches for you?

Would this remove the posting limits?

Valid reasons, the person, I think preferably trusted among the forum would guarantee you won't spam up the forum. There isn't posting limits, only posting intervals.

But if someone was trusted on these forums, wouldn't they generally have been here for long enough and posted enough so that whitelisting someone would be pointless?

Please take note that I am not saying about the person who is getting whitelisted but another person who knows him well either online or in real life.

Just do it as everybody else, wait for your turn meanwhile be part of community. I remember long time ago when I was angry at those obnoxious limitation myself. But it was long time ago and I forgot about it already.

The time limit between posts shortens with the activity increases and is about 30-50 seconds when your activity is +30 and you are a junior member. Just spend a little time on forum and in 2-4 weeks your activity would reach that level.

I thought the whitelisting is long gone, but it seems I am wrong.

According to the member search page (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=mlist), there are only 4 persons having the "Whitelisted" position.

We can whitelist users, but their position remains same.

Become more established and when your activity reaches 28-30 your time should be something like 70-90 seconds, I doubt there are special considerations and modification of wait time between posts.

Waiting time gets to a decent level at 15 activity, that is, the second two weeks period if the user is active.

The waiting time will be 90-15 = 75 seconds, and will lower at each new activity the user gets.

i am pretty sure logging in counts as a 'post' as well.
so once you login you have to wait 5 minutes to post or send a PM.
